Tom Evslin: Penny per Customer Cost for Disaster Mitigation Too Much for Bells
On Friday, with the help of Aswath Rao, Tom Evslin and I filed our response to the negative comments which the Bells had unanimously filed with the FCC on our petition.
"The Bells (AKA ILECs) whined that their networks might not be able to route calls out of stricken areas to voicemail or call forwarding and that voicemail facilities themselves might go down in a flood. I’m sure that answer came from their lawyers and not their engineers who must have hid their heads in embarrassment. They also said that the proposed disaster relief would be too expensive."
